How to defend homes from foreclosure #OCCUPYYOURHOME

Background

Everyone deserves to have a roof over their head and a
place to call home. Millions of Americans have worked hard for years
for the opportunity to own their own home; for others, it remains a
distant goal. For all of us, having a decent place to live for
ourselves and our families is the most fundamental part of the American
dream, a source of security and pride.

In 2008, we discovered bankers and speculators had been
gambling with our most valuable asset, our homes--betting against us and
destroying trillions of dollars of our wealth. Now, because of the
foreclosure crisis Wall Street banks created with their lies and greed,
millions of Americans have lost their homes, and one in four homeowners
are currently underwater on their mortgage.

Not only do we have thousands of people without homes, we have
thousands of homes without people. Boarded-up houses are sitting
empty--increasing crime, lowering the value of other homes in the
neighborhood, erasing the wealth that lifts families into the middle
class.

The Occupy Wall Street movement and brave homeowners around
the country are coming together to say, "Enough is enough." We, the 99%,
are standing up to Wall Street banks and demanding they negotiate with
homeowners instead of foreclosing on them.

Occupy Our Homes is a movement that supports Americans who
stand up to their banks and fight for their homes. We believe everyone
has a right to decent, affordable housing. We stand in solidarity with
the Occupy Wall Street movement and with community organizations who
help the 99% fight for a place to call home.

Minnesota Neighborhoods Organizing for Change is a community
organization that has worked with Monique White and other North
Minneapolis residents to stop foreclosures, and is campaigning to get
the Minneapolis School Board to divest from Wells Fargo bank over its
predatory lending practices and their effects on the schools.Website »

All session USuncut Minnesota flyered for #ALECExposed

NO CUTS! NO CONCESSIONS! Stop the Tax evaders, close the loopholes! Unfortunately, news as to what the cuts ARE were significantly missing in the corporate media. And on Feb. 14th, ALEC/GOP members decided MN should have NO new revenues. That left our state with an ALL CUTS budget and lots of concessions.

We know that the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) manufactured a shutdown crisis and lack of transparency.

Here are our video reports on our 22 May ACTION. We took over a live feed mic that was going all over the state of Minnesota !! (thanx Orlando, actuallyhelping.org)
